We honor and appreciate the many individuals, families and organizations that donate financially during each giving period (July - June). These friends are vital in helping us accomplish our mission to guard, preserve and celebrate Athena's Scottish heritage.

 

Financial gifts are cumulative during the current giving period. A Friend of Caledonian is one who gives up to $49.99 during the current giving period. Caledonian Guardians are recognized at the following levels:

$  50 - $149  Guardian

$150 - $299  Bronze Guardian

$300 - $449  Silver Guardian

$450 - $599  Gold Guardian

$600+           Thistle Guardian

Monthly or quarterly giving through your bank's bill-pay system is also welcome. Guardians in each level of the program will be listed here, as well as in the annual festival pocket program (as of June 5).

 

To become a Caledonian Friend or Guardian today, submit your donation to Athena Caledonian Games, PO Box 161, Athena OR 97813. Because we are a 501(c)(3) organization, donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
